Sequences originally sequenced by Gary Goldberg (you can get the original files from here). What I did with them was to remap them to GM, adding some controller data, correcting wrong notes, and transposing instruments to concert pitch. I also made some changes to tempo and dynamics at certain points.

• Gershwin's Concerto in F, 3rd movement (133k) --excellent original sequence by Jeffrey Reid Baker
• Liszt's Totentanz
• Prokofiev's 5th symphony, 1st and 2nd movements
• Ravel's Piano Concerto in G, 1st movement
• Shostakovich's Symphony No. 6 in B, 3rd movement
• Tchaikovsky's 5th symphony, 4th movement

Links to other classical midi sites and miscellaneous notes

That's it for now. I am pretty busy working at the hospital, so expect new files approximately every three to four weeks. Do email me about wrong notes and other irregularities--midi files with correct notes do make easier listening (if you know what I mean).
